Great Overall Experience
We really enjoyed our stay at Cubby Bear and made good use of the amenities including the BBQ which had back up propane which was nice. Having the garage door opener available was really helpful for returning from our ski trips. Would stay here again for sure.

Wonderful Family Getaway
My family and I stayed here for two nights. It was a lovely home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The fenced yard was a great place for the kids and dog to play. Very comfortable beds and couch. We will definitely be back with more family. There was plenty of room for two families to stay comfortably.

Fantastic stay!
We loved our stay! Everything was perfect, worked, was clean, and enjoyable. We were close to a lot of recreation and stores. We loved cooking in the kitchen, hanging out in the big living room, and watching our kids on the climbing wall and in the hot tub. Thank you for a great stay!

Beautiful clean home in a beautiful location
The house was just as described. Clean and spacious. Our family of 8 with our two dogs had a wonderful stay. The kitchen was fully stocked for our chef in the family to make wonderful meals. The fenced yard was perfect for the dogs. It was an easy and quick drive to everything! Would stay again!

Rented the house for a week to ski. It was great! Had one issue with the dishwasher not working, but the company was on top of it and made things right. Would love to stay again sometime.

The house was everything we wanted and we very much enjoyed it. Only minor detail that got noticed was the kitchen needs to have a new 4 slice toaster. Currently there is only an old 2 slice toaster. We had 8 people, lots of waiting on the toaster. Plenty of space for everyone and a great set up between the living room, kitchen and dinner table. We spent lots of our time gathered together in that very spacey area. Would definitely stay there again.

Family weekend
Great house! Nice big garage and plenty of space for everyone. Short drive to store and Heavenly Village. We liked how the adults and teenagers were able to have their own floor. Good family property. Nice to be able to bring the dog, although it smelled like a dog inhabited home...but what do you do?

Lake Tahoe home
Very "cozy" home. Great location and had everything we needed. Only one suggestion: It would be great to have a baby gate that swung open at the top of the stairs. The one provided was difficult to go over due to it having to be at the top of the stairs to prevent our toddler from playing on the stairs. Other than that, it was an awesome stay!

Easy, Clean, Safe, Relaxing
The management company was very responsive through both phone call and text. The house was clean, felt safe and a great space for the group to relax both inside and outside. The tall trees, quiet neighborhood and proximity to the lake were all great. The kitchen did have some things added to it from the last stay but we still bought some non-stick pans because the ones at the house were not good when cooking with.

Wonderful week in Tahoe
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was perfect for our family. Downstairs area and bathroom could use a bit more lighting it seemed a bit dark but most people migrated upstairs to the kitchen area. Kitchen was big and beautiful lots of room for our food and we did lots of cooking. Loved the location can’t wait to go back next summer!

Almost everything was amazing.
This property is so amazing!!!! Rooms are huge, and beautiful, location is flipping perfect, backyard is magnificent, and enough space for everyone in your party. My only negatives are that the kitchen needs to be equipped with more pots, pans, and kitchen essentials. Also, the dishwasher wasn’t working all the time, but they said it was in motion to be fixed. Other than that, this property was, and is stunning. We’ve already booked this place for our summer vacation next year. The property managers were awesome as well. They called back ASAP, and helped with all of our needs.

Great Stay at Cubby Bear
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was fantastic!. The home was very clean with no dog odors even though it is pet friendly. The hot tub didn't get as hot as we would like it but it was fine. Everything else was pretty good. The master bedroom was pretty cold, so I am not sure why the central heat didn't seem to work in there but there were plenty of blankets to keep us cozy. The upstairs shower was difficult to control the water temp and i think needs to be repaired because you can't really completely shut it off.

Enjoyed our stay!
The house was nice and spacious but the carpet was dirty and stained. One of the sinks had. a sign on it out of order. I think for the price, the carpet shoujd have been clean and the plumbing repaired. We were told two vehicles could fit in the driveway but because of an overgrown bush that was impossible. Otherwise it was a great week.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd consecutive year staying here, and it only got better. After our first stay I recommended some more cookware in my review, as well as a faulty dishwasher, and they stocked up on cookware and got a new dishwasher, as well as a new fridge. The house is perfect for a large group, with all the space you could possibly need. They do a great job with whatever you need. They even had the hot tub serviced when we requested with a blink on an eye. Located in a quiet neighborhood, yet still close enough to every where you want to go, I can say for my stay it was perfect.

Lovely Tahoe Home in Private Neighborhood
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent a few days at a wonderful Tahoe home with spacious rooms and very well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable king bed in master with adjoining bath with double-headed shower. Upstairs family room had plenty of space for several people to hang out, large capacity table and extra bar stools too. New oven and large refrigeration. Upstairs deck with comfortable couch seating and BBQ. Grandkids enjoyed the rock wall and games downstairs. Larger bathroom for both bedrooms to share worked out well. Garage space adequate but not large enough for pick up truck due to watercraft in the garage already. We really enjoyed the home otherwise.

Slightly missed the mark
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall we had a lovely stay. Location was great. Check-in & out were easy. However a few things were a miss. Hot tub was only 78 when we arrived so it was too cold to go in to until the next afternoon. A lot of the furniture was falling apart. My 6 month old found a screw on the floor. Many bolts were coming out of table and stools. Ice maker was broken (they did leave half a small bag of ice). Not nearly enough bathroom or hot tub towels for the amount of guests. Probably would stay with the rental company again but not this property.

Lovely stay in Tahoe and at spacious Cubby Bear
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice house, great location. Shower handle in upstairs hall bathroom came off, BBQ absolutely filthy. Fire hazard! Levelors in downstairs bunk room were frozen on right window and did not operate first night. Master bathroom shower drains slowly - needs work. Landscape co was reseeding both front and back lawns and was excessively watering. Rear yard was basically a mud pit. We could not use the back yard at all because of its wet condition. We should have been told about this ahead of time. A big disappointment. Service from RnR was responsive when called. Property should be more carefully checked and serviced in between renters. Houue clean but not BBQ.

Family Reunion in Tahoe
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our experience at Cubby Bear was great. The home is beautifully decorated, clean and cozy. The kitchen is not stocked with basic necessities as mentioned in other comments so be sure to bring the basics: salt, pepper, coffee, olive oil etc. Plenty of kitchen appliances and utensils though!The property manager was easy to get ahold of and was quick to help when our entry code was invalid. We did lose power for 9+ hours due to a winter storm and the house only had 2 emergency flashlights so If you're traveling during the winter I'd reccomend being more preared and bringing extra lights and candles. The fireplace and stove are gas so we were able to keep the house warm!The neighbors keep to themselves, although are not as friendly as one would hope. We tried saying hello and happy new year to a few but were ignored. The neighborhood is charming and very close to heavenly village. Not ideal to walk, but a 5-10 minute drive. Ubers come to this area as well.Definitely a great home, great host and great stay. We recommend!

Out Stay at Cubby Bear at Heavenly Tahoe
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We would say about 75% good and 25% upsetting. First day was okay. House was spacious and fit the large family. The second day we were told (not in advance) the refrigerator was being replaced. We had already packed the frig with our groceries. Two members of the family stayed behind on day two to await new frig. We spent 4 to 5 hours emptying the frig on counter while they took the old one downstairs in garage and then we had to carry all the groceries downstairs to store until the new frig cooled. Then move all the groceries upstairs. Then the frig leaked and we had to wait a day for them to fix. The master bathroom shower plugged up while showering (2 to 3 inches of water plugged with clumps of previous persons hair) so we had to have that fixed. Made for a very uncomfortable 2 days. Promised (wow $100 credit) which we never received for out inconvenience.
